I recently purchased some books that are thesauri specifically for writers. Unlike a “regular” thesaurus, these focus on things like positive and negative traits, emotions, stuff like that to help with brainstorming characters and interactions. Within each trait entry are suggestions of actions that might demonstrate those traits, also background ideas that could explain why a character acts/feels that way. I’m so thrilled to dive into them and see what I discover. Getting excited about thesauri – only a writer, right? 😀
